Africa-Press<\/a> – Nigeria<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The family of Nnamdi Kanu, leader of the Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB, has again spoken on its earlier call to suspend the sit-at-home order.<\/p>\n

Kanu\u2019s family said the call for the suspension was not due to monetary inducement by the Government.<\/p>\n

Prince Emmanuel Kanu, in a statement for the family, explained that the counter-directive was due to the ongoing National Examination Council, NECO, examination.<\/p>\n

Emmanuel also stated that the counter-directive was not aimed at usurping the powers of IPOB.<\/p>\n

He stressed that the family had lost almost everything in the struggle for Biafra, hence it can not be compromised.<\/p>\n

Biafra sit-at-home: Nnamdi Kanu\u2019s brother, IPOB spokesman clash, issue counter orders<\/p>\n

The statement read in part: \u201cWe the family of the detained leader of the Indigenous Peoples of Biafra, IPOB, Mazi Nnamdi Kanu, have noted with concern mixed reactions that have trailed the counter order by the family against the Monday, August 9 planned sit-at-home order initially directed by IPOB.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt must be understood that the action of the family was informed by the compelling need not to jeopardise the academic future of thousands of Biafran children sitting for the ongoing National Examination Council, NECO.<\/p>\n

\u201cContrary to misconceptions in some quarters, the action of the family to counter the sit-at-home was not as a result of compromise or monetary inducement by the Government.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was also not to usurp the powers of IPOB or for any ulterior motive contrary to speculations.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s unthinkable that the Kanu family, which has sacrificed almost everything including our parents, in the cause of this struggle would ever contemplate sabotaging the same struggle for which our first son is now being illegally detained.\u201d<\/p>\n

IPOB had declared the sit-at-home order on Monday to push for Kanu\u2019s release.<\/p>\n

The separatist is under the custody of security operatives, following his rearrest and repatriation to Nigeria.<\/p>\n

The IPOB leader was rearrested in an African country believed to be Kenya.<\/p>\n

Nnamdi Kanu: Tension, fear in Southeast over IPOB\u2019s sit-at-home order<\/p>\n

However, Kanu\u2019s brother, Kanunta, had urged the people of the Southeast to ignore the directive.<\/p>\n

Kanunta had anchored his call on the ongoing NECO examinations.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the sit-at-home protest recorded compliance in the Southeast.<\/p>\n

IPOB\u2019s mouthpiece, Emma Powerful, had said the order recorded 100 percent compliance in the region, despite threats by state governments and security agencies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
